- Rated 4 out of 5by TheMaddHatter, 3 months agoVery nice lightweight extension that works very well almost every time. I'm not sure why but some channels appear to be immune to having a default speed set. I've only found 4 so far. Would love to know if there is a way to fix this.

- Rated 2 out of 5by Firefox user 16055810, a year agoIt works sometimes, but too often I'll load a video from a channel I watch frequently, and it forgets my speed setting. And if you skip far ahead in a video, so YouTube has to reload the stream or change the quality level, the speed adjustment is consistently lost.

- Rated 3 out of 5by Skellingtor, 2 years agoworks fine and all but i'm struggling to figure out how the per-channel setting works, because it never seems to save the speeds i set
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 15240987, 2 years agoExcellent extension that even works for playlists (many others don’t). Thanks for implementing per-channel defaults!

- Rated 5 out of 5by miltador, 3 years agoVery handy and simple UI, allows to set default speed. Thank you!
- Rated 5 out of 5by Firefox user 14146120, 4 years agoGreat extension. I wish it was available on other browsers, too.
- Rated 5 out of 5by ClaOrz, 4 years agoa pretty nice addons, there is a small bug.. if an ads start playing at the start of the video, the video will start at 1x speed and you need to re-adjust the speed again, even if you already set the default speed
- Rated 3 out of 5by Firefox user 14094712, 4 years agoBetter than the other add-ons, but you can't get any fraction :/ Is there a reason why all these YT speed controllers don't support (more) exact values?
Developer response
posted 4 years agoYou can set any step size, down to 0.01. (Right click icon > Manage Extension > Preferences). - Rated 4 out of 5by tg, 4 years agoFunctional. BUT please whitelist music.youtube.com domains or others which may not work well having a non 1x speed default.
- Rated 5 out of 5by miniGweek, 4 years agoThanks Samuel Li for this wonderful extension.
This works as expected, I can control the speed for any Youtube video and can set a default speed.
Some suggestions
1. Please improve the docs clearly stating with screenshot how to enable the speed ticker :)
2. A Shortcut key to enable 1x speed will be very useful.
3. - Rated 1 out of 5by Ramzes6, 4 years agoDoesn't work on Firefox 56.0.2 - there is no any icon anywhere in the browser.
- Rated 4 out of 5by Édouard Lopez, 5 years agoWorks as expected: fix video speed but you need to be on the Youtube tab.
I like the idea to have icon in the awesome bar, however I was expecting :
* to see it on every tabs, not just youtube, so I can change speed from anywhere
* that the value reflect current setting instead of a fix `3x`
* valid input using keyboard `Enter`
Improvement will be to have:
* keyboard accessible extension
* a quick way to set back to 1x speed - Rated 2 out of 5by Yinmin, 5 years agodoesn't remember setting for the next tab so effectivity is limited. I'd have to change the speed manually at which point i could just use the native speed control.
